Description

Foot drop, also known as drop foot, is a condition where there is difficulty or inability to lift the front part of the foot, leading to dragging of the toes or foot while walking. This condition can result from various causes, including nerve injury, muscle weakness, or neurological disorders. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the management of foot drop, aiming to improve strength, mobility, and overall gait. The specific approach to physiotherapy for foot drop may vary based on the underlying cause and the individual's overall health. Additionally, physiotherapists often work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals, such as orthopedic specialists or neurologists, to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated treatment plan. The goal is to help individuals with foot drop regain functional mobility and improve their overall quality of life.
